I guess I need to be refreshed of the reasons why we > wouldn't do this. My reasons for arguing against declaring all the inputs required by a <p:for-each> (or <p:choose>) are: 1. It's unnecessary (implementations can work out what extra inputs are required for themselves) 2. It's tedious for users 3. It's unlike iteration in other languages (you don't have to define all the variables used within a for loop in, say, Java) Cheers, Jeni -- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com
